What we choose not to read is highly instructive.

I looked forward to WordStream's greatest blog hits of 2009 with a geeky excitement. Before I read today's blog I wondered how many of the topics I had already read. I wondered what I'd learn that was new and useful.

I learned I had avoided or skimmed the topics that revealed my greatest SEM weakness: linking.

#5 Advanced Link Building: Clone Your Most Successful Link Profiles
#6 What Are the Best Article Submission Websites for Link Building?
#9 How to Get Do Follow Links from Wikipedia Articles in Four Simple Steps

Thanks Elisa. Now I know quite clearly what SEM topic I've been avoiding: linking. By the end of 2010 I'll know a whole lot more about linking then I do now.
